THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE
Good News

Ever since knowing Farhan already had one, Mira seemed a little different. He's a little moody. Smiles that had often expanded became rarely seen.

Via felt the change. He felt guilty for Mira. However, she would also not be able to give up her husband for someone else. Via also realized, her husband did not want another woman to accompany him.

"I'm sorry, Mira. I'll be honest at the right time. May Mira get the soul mate of a gentle man," whispered Via inwardly.

Although her heart ached, Mira tried to stay firm. He doesn't want to look cute. His work spirit did not fade.

"Vi, our turnover has almost tripled compared to the beginning of our store, lo. I didn't expect the development of this store could be sped up. You're great" praised Ratna.

"Haish, what's so great? It's a joint job, not me. Thank God, it turns out that the help of God facilitates our work" said Via.

"Vi, after the semester exam I want a two or three day holiday. Can't, right?" ask Ratna.

"I think we all need a vacation. How about the store closes a week, we enjoy the holidays?"

"Well, I want to. But, will it not affect the performance of the store if it closes a week?"

"What if the online store remains open? Is the online store closed for two days? We take turns."

"Later to talk with Mira and Salsa, yes" Ratna suggested.

Via nodded. They speed up the steps to get to the shop.

"Assalamualaikum," said Via and Ratna together as soon as the shophouse.

Mira and Salsa answered together. They're packing orders.

Mira's mom, Salsa, don't you agree that our store is off?" ask Ratna.

"A holiday? How many days? Salsa asked back.

"Online store should not be long. Two or three days at most. If there is an order, we send it from home" Ratna explained.

"Keep, the shophouse closes how many days?" Mira changed to ask.

"Sunday," answered via brief.

"No loss, ma'am?" Salsa looked worried.

"Rezeki has something wrong. God willing from online stores there is still a hefty advantage," said Via.

Salsa was afraid that if the income of the store was reduced, the salary was reduced. Since working in Azrina, the economic condition of the girl's family has improved. He could help fund the school of his two younger siblings.

"Swimming, Sa. God willing, your salary will not be cut even if our store closes for a few days" said Via with a smile. He seemed to know what was in Salsa's mind.

"Then, when do they close?" ask Mira.

"After our semester exams" replied Ratna.

Eventually, they agreed to close the store. They will enjoy the holidays with their respective events.

"O yes, exhausted sublime I will meet the bag manufacturer. Yesterday I got an offer for a local production bag and wallet at a fairly cheap price. It's a good fit, the development of the products we sell" Via said.

"It needs company, right? Not far, anyway?" ask Ratna.

"No need. A taxi might be about half an hour. You help Mira and Salsa. Orders from online stores are quite a lot, no."

"Foolah. Careful, yes! Come on, pray first!" bring Ratna.

After the prayer, Via prepared to leave. He ordered a taxi through the app.

"I'm leaving first, guys. Assalamualaikum," said Via as he stepped out of the shophouse. The taxi booked has arrived.

Just five minutes into the walk, the ringtone of the phone call rang. Via took out a flat box object from inside his bag. On the screen it says Farhan called.

"Assalamualaikum, Mas" said Via.

"Vaalaikumsalam. Via deck at the shophouse?" ask Farhan.

"No. This is again on the way to meet the bag manufacturer. How's it?"

"Can I meet? Somebody wants to talk about it."

"Can, later after Via met the bag manufacturer, yes!"

"I just follow up, yeah. Share lock!" farhan Pinta.

"Good, Mas."

"See you there. Assalamualaikum."

"Getishalight."

Just a few minutes Via arrived, Farhan had already followed. Of course Via was shocked.

"Hurry up, Mom?"

"It just so happened that I just met a high school friend. His house is not far from here. Come on, I'm with you."

Via approves Farhan's invitation. With Farhan's help, they reach a mutually beneficial agreement. Via also paid by bringing some product samples.

"Yet. Not hungry yet" said Via.

Farhan opened his car door and let Via in. After closing the car door, Farhan came in and prepared to drive the car.

"To which cafe?" ask Farhan.

"Terserah Mas's. Kan Mas Farhan is hijacked."

"Foolah. The close ones, yes," said Farhan with a smile.

The cafe is not so crowded. There are only a few visitors occupying 2 tables. Farhan chose a seat in the corner of the room, some distance away with other visitors.

While waiting for the order to come, Farhan invited Via to talk.

"Sir, there's something I want to say. Our patience, the attempt to weaken those who are hostile to us, is already paying off."

Via looked at Farhan with a sparkling gaze. He hoped Farhan would give good news.

"Is everything revealed?"

Farhan nodded. He grabbed Via's hand and clasped tightly.

"Alhamdulillah, already. God willing, everything is resolved. After Mr. Beno was arrested, their strength weakened."

Their conversation halted for a moment as the cafe waiter served the dishes they ordered.

After eating, Farhan continued his story.

"They have different background issues. Some are purely business, some are personal."

Farhan stopped for a drink. Via remained silent waiting for Farhan's next remark.

"Om Danu turns out to have a personal grudge against the deceased papa. The trigger incident was a dozen years ago. While Mr. Widodo, Pak Kuncoro, and Feri for business reasons. Mr. Kuncoro was once a business partner of the late papa, but cheated. The deceased broke off their relationship and Pak Kuncoro was heartbroken. While Feri and Pak Widodo due to internal company issues, superior and subordinate relationship."

"Didn't it bring up a new grudge?" ask Via worried.

"Hopefully no. Clearly, like roosters they don't have spurs."

Via just nodding. He entrusted everything to Farhan.

"That means, we can announce our wedding, Dek. Father and mother plan to hold a reception after Dek Via finishes the semester exam. How's it?"

Via's cheeks suddenly turned red. He didn't think up to it.

"Is it still necessary?" ask Via in doubt.

"I mean the Via Deck?" Farhan scrunched his forehead.

"Do you have to have a reception, Mom?"

Farhan smiled and replied, "The perception is an announcement that we have become a halal couple. So, people don't get us wrong. Otherwise, later Mas calculated singles continue to be assessed by girls."

Via pouting. Her lips are funny.

"Don't do it, Dek! Mas so giddy look at your lips, kisser you," whispered Farhan.

"Ish, Mas Farhan is perverted," muttered Via.

Farhan laughed chuckling. He's really happy.

"The same goes with my wife. It's just that, nothing yet" whispered Farhan again.

"Mommy mean?" Via doesn't understand.

Farhan laughed again. He felt his wife was so innocent.

"Just wait for the play date. Now, Deck Via focuses on the semester exam. Preparation for the reception let's just mama. We'll just take it right."

"Pity you if no one helps you."

"There's a WO. If handled WO, mother will not be tired."

"Here," said Via resigned.

The brightness of the sky is increasingly real because of the cheerful mood. Farhan imagines living with Via as husband and wife.
